Thanks to all for the offers of help. I have an offer from a local company in Hornsby (their reply was offlist so won't put there name up here.....yet!) to put their staff onto the job for me - which is very much appreciated. Once we have a plan of attack I will be in contact with the others who offered help to see if they want to work in with us or even help with the training of staff etc.

The Manager is my wife who has been in disability work for over twenty five years along with her offsider that has similar experience. Having great success. The move to the new building is currently massively over budget :-( but worth every cent! The donations and freebies from over 35 local companies so far we can't estimate the value of but it is huge. The major funding comes from Governments and private donations and the collection of fees from the clients. Hoverer there is always a struggle to get the next set of funding, and there are no guarantees, with a lot of hoops to jump through (which is right for public monies). For the first year of operation ALL staff worked as volunteers for NO pay, adn we are still very much dependent on volunteers, so they are a dedicated lot and deserve as much help as I can muster for them. -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
